2024 Crous St Martin Côtes-du-Rhône Blanc “Les Etriers”, Rhône Valley, France

ABOUT THIS WINE

“Les Etriers” is a Côtes-du-Rhône Blanc from Crous St Martin, a domaine based in the southern Rhône. The wine reflects the Mediterranean climate of the region, where abundant sunshine encourages ripe, aromatic fruit while cooling influences help preserve freshness.

The blend is centered on traditional Rhône white varieties, with Viognier, Roussanne, and Marsanne contributing aromatic lift, stone-fruit richness, and texture. Grenache Blanc and other regional varieties may complement the blend depending on the vintage. The grapes are harvested at balanced ripeness and handled gently to retain freshness and varietal character.

The 2024 vintage emphasizes bright fruit and accessibility, with enough texture to make it more substantial than a simple aperitif wine. Its combination of freshness and Mediterranean richness makes it particularly versatile at the table. Enjoy it with grilled or roasted fish, shellfish, roast chicken, goat cheese, or vegetable dishes featuring herbs and olive oil.
